Links To Dr. Weingart’s Outstanding Minicourse “EMCrit – Critical Care for Non-Intensivists during COVID19 Pandemic”

Posted on July 21, 2020 by Tom Wade MD

In this post I link to Dr. Weingart’s outstanding minicourse, EMCrit – Critical Care for Non-Intensivists during COVID19 Pandemic, March 25, 2020.

This is the course that non-intensivists should study. It is simply outstanding.

Here is Dr. Weingart’s introduction to his great learning resource:

This page is an iterative attempt to create an 8-10 hour curriculum for non-intensivists being tasked to take care of critically ill patients as a result of the COVID19 pandemic. I welcome your comments on what should be added, subtracted or changed.

This is a work in progress–it will be updated daily. Please put in comments any ideas you have!

Just start at the top of Dr. Weingart’s course and work your way through it. That’s what I’ll be doing for the next few days.

Here are the resources from Dr. Weingart’s course that I’ve reviewed so far:
